Jones made just a handful of appearances for the Owls before going on to play for Crawley Town, Oldham Athletic, Carlisle United and Barrow.
WHAT POSITION DOES HE PLAY?
For the majority of his career Jones has mainly been used as a winger on both flanks but he now plays more centrally.
SO HE’S GOT A LOT OF EFL EXPERIENCE THEN?
Yes, Jones has actually played all of his career in League One and League Two, racking up almost 500 appearances in total in the EFL overall and more than 500 in all competitions.

WHY IS HE A FREE AGENT?
Jones is unattached because he was released by League Two Barrow at the end of last season following two years with the Cumbrians.
COULD HE BE OFFERED A DEAL BY CHESTERFIELD?
Jones has been at the Spireites since the start of pre-season so they are clearly taking a good look at him. With Manny Oyeleke out for the long-term and with Saidou Khan having left for Swindon Town, Chesterfield are a bit light in central midfield with just Ollie Banks, Darren Oldaker and Tom Whelan so they could do with at least one more addition in that area.
ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD?
According to his Twitter account, Jones is a qualified personal trainer, a property investor and is involved in a kids’ clothing brand.
